Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Mint
Sold
One and only issue from 1966 in investment-grade condition. The hardbox is in mint condition - it looks like it was just removed from the shipping box. This only 1/48 kit of this subject.

Good kit with swing wings, retractable landing gear, cockpit detail and two pilots as well as full Navy decals. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts decals and instructions present.

Maircraft Bellanca Cruisair - Solid Wood Model Airplane, 1/48, S-5
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model). This lead to one of the most desirable and rare model kits ever produced in the USA - the wood/plastic 1/48 United DC-3 model issued immediately after World War 2. Other than the P-61 and a few other Maircraft offerings, most were simple kits that sold for the low price of about 35 cents and gave the owners many hours of pleasurable work. This kit features a full size plan with instructions steps, fuselage that is about 80% cut, profile cut parts, printwood and a small bag of details. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.

Athearn PRR 'B' Unit Dummy - HO Scale Kit, 1/87

Ideal Aeroplane & Supply USS Alexander Hamilton Revenue Cutter - 22 Inch Hull Wooden Ship Model
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
Sold
Wood and metal kit from 1947. Completed model measures 22 inches long. NOTE: This is a builder kit only. It is not a collector kit. It has been started. The precarved balsa hull has been completed. Quality of the work is excellent. The hull is ready to seal and paint. 90% of the printwood parts have been cut out. Only the main deck was cut out neatly - the quality of the remaining work is fair to poor. Some parts were not cut straight and cuts extend inside the outlines. Some parts were glued then removed, and some of them broke. Several small parts are missing like one trailboard, skylight, one cabin side, one door and perhaps more. Luckily they can all be made from sheet balsa. It will take a talented and intrepid modeler who is not afraid of scratch building to complete this kit! Includes all of the round stock for masts, yards and square stock as well. I believe the metal fittings are complete - they include two whale boats, one lifeboat, two inclined ladders (stairs), two ships wheels, two eyelets and 6 cannon. The original running rigging thread is present and the full size plans are complete, readable and completely useable but only in 'good' condition. The Alexander Hamilton was a beautiful revenue cutter in service from 1871 to 1906. She took part in the Spanish-American War as part of the Havana harbor blockade fleet. After her service, she was sold to a private individual in 1906.
